Argo Factory

Argo Factory (Persian: کارخانه آرگو), is a contemporary art museum and cultural centre housed in a former brewery in Tehran, Iran.

In 2016, Pejman Foundation acquired and reconstructed the Argo Factory and turned into one of its multiple sites.

[3][4][5] In spite of its unique architectural features – high smokestacks and strategic geographical position at the heart of the city – the factory was taken for granted for many years and eventually turned into a tumbledown building for almost four decades.

In the fifth edition of these awards, Argo Factory was among the names of selected projects in the final stage or short list of this international competition in the cultural buildings section, and became the final winner of this section and also became the Dezeen Awards 2022 architecture project of the year.

Pejman Foundation supports art and culture through a program of exhibitions, talks, and events.
